Gloucester vs Bristol Predictions - Gloucester can end losing streak at home
Gloucester, currently winless in the Premiership, face off against the Bristol Bears. Despite Gloucester being favorites due to their previous wins against Bristol, the Bears' current form gives them a fighting chance. Bristol have won two of their last three matches, while Gloucester have struggled against top-tier teams this season. Head-to-head, Gloucester completed a double over Bristol last season. However, the prediction leans towards Bristol staying within 5.5 points, although Gloucester may ultimately secure the win.
- Gloucester winless, still favorites vs. Bristol.
- Bristol's form suggests they could keep it close.
- Tight game expected, slight edge to host Gloucester.

Gloucester vs Bristol Predictions
Gloucester are winless but are favourites to beat a Bristol Bears side that tends to struggle on the road. I feel this could be very tight though, so I’m leaning towards the Bears on +5.5.

Head to Head
Gloucester did the double on Bristol last season, winning 53-28 at home and 44-41 away.
Gloucester Form
Gloucester are under pressure going into the fourth round of the Premiership after losing their opening three games. They are currently ninth on the table, only above Newcastle thanks to their two losing bonus points.
In round one, it was always going to be a tough trip to Sale and so it proved as Gloucester lost 27-10 away. A week later, they narrowly lost at home 37-35 to Northampton.
Last weekend, coming up against the defending champions, Bath, Gloucester lost 38-17. One positive is that they have played three of the stronger sides thus far but will want a win at home this weekend.
Gloucester Injuries & Team News
Gloucester will field their strongest side in order to try get a win ahead of the international break.
Bristol Form
Bristol Bears have two wins from their three fixtures thus far and currently occupy fifth place on the Premiership table.
The Bears beat Leicester Tigers 42-24 in round one before being thrashed 50-17 at Saracens in round two. Last week, on home soil, Bristol beat Exeter Chiefs 18-14.
Bristol Injuries & Team News
Bristol have won their two home games but lost heavily in their only away fixture. I expect a strong side on Friday night.
Verdict
I am backing Bristol to get within 5.5 points but do feel the hosts will get the win.
